"The Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, contains an exceptional assemblage
of cave art, executed between 13,000 and 9,500 years ago. It takes its
name (Cave of the Hands) from the stencilled outlines of human hands in
the cave, but there are also many depictions of animals, such as
guanacos (Lama guanicoe ), still commonly found in the region,
as well as hunting scenes. The people responsible for the paintings may
have been the ancestors of the historic hunter-gatherer communities of
Patagonia found by European settlers in the 19th century." -whc.unesco.org
Great art indeed! Thank you so much Stella for sharing this wonderful and interesting postcard! I so much like the stamps too! ^-^
